I chose this recipe because I happened to have 1/3 cup of pine nuts and this recipe has never been reviewed. I toasted my pine nuts and only used half the 1/3 cup of oil I had measured out. This gave me a spreadable consistency which will be perfect to freeze, then add in a little more oil when I use the pesto. The flavour is wonderful and it was a great way to use up some of my basil.
